Description
These three quintets by the London-born Stephen Dodgson (1924–2013) continue the exploration of his chamber music on Toccata Classics. Dodgson’s musical language inherited something of Shostakovich’s irony, Janá?ek’s spiky energy and Britten’s polished clarity, occasionally reaching further into the past in passages of Purcellian dignity. All these characteristics are animated with a gentle harmonic warmth of Dodgson’s own.The result, in a typically English paradox, manages to be both elusive and direct. All three quintets are receiving their first recordings here.
